Sandy Clark appointed East Stirlingshire manager

Bit of a ‘moments’ player, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Dundee United, Livi and Hearts last season - all big goals. Don't get me wrong, I’d rather Max was playing but I do think some of the stick Crawford gets - there are some in the East Stand that just flat out refuse to acknowledge he’s done any good - can be too much at times.

RIP to that seagull

Hamilton are not a very good football team. Zak Rudden’s made a difference. It’s cold.

What a great thread

Presumably when Montgomery goes back to Celtic in January he’ll become second choice to James Brown. Goosed again when Callum Booth’s back. Hopefully Mahon heads on loan in January.

This competition has become quite the farce

Agree in that in wouldn't work. As good as they are, I don’t think either player have it in them to play any further forward than wing-back. Don’t see the point in us trying something like that when we don’t need to - we have a system we know works that can facilitate them both. In regards that Denmark game, I seem to remember the majority of the starting 11 being left footed, which just seemed weird to begin with. First half in particular was a shambles.

Beat me to it. Thought he was excellent at McDiarmid, quite interested to watch him tomorrow night

Genuinely buzzing for Spoony, not least because I got Qatar in the sweepstake, so I actually have a team to support now.

Can’t remember the last time I watched a good game of football where Nick Walsh was the referee. That fucker must be allergic to playing advantage. Stops the game for every small little foul and it drives me absolutely crazy.

Hands down, for me. 3 cups etc etc.

Unless they’re coming back to Saints in recent years

Agree with all of this.

The whole policing/stewarding in the away end last night was a joke. Swapped their personality for a hi-vis jacket etc etc.

Well spotted

Aye it really is glorious. Ryan McGowan picked up his sixth booking last night, assuming he’ll be suspended for the Ross County game after the break?

Ryan McGowan’s a hero!

We’ve done well out of significant late goals this calendar year. Crawford at Livi, Hendry v Motherwell, May at Motherwell, Clark at Hibs and last night. The best types of goals.

Are St. Mirren’s throw-ins always as bad as last night? Surprised - I shouldn’t be - that none were given as foul throws.

There were quite a few that did the same. Pleasing, if truth be told.

Played pretty well on Sunday but as should be expected, visibly tired as the game wore on. Time will tell but, so far, it’s looked as thought the old magic is still there. The fact that pace was never one of his main attributes works well for a player of his age returning from the injury he’s had.

Thought about Tade’s but not sure it’s quite in the same category as Brown’s. Hasselbaink’s is one I’d completely forgotten about, which is surprising given how cold it was!
